The first of two encounters in the Europa League 3rd Qualifying Round, as the hometeam Kairat will try to edge Alashkert in their own ballpark.
The visiting Alashkert played their last game only four days ago, a Premier League match.
These teams have little in common geographically as Alashkert have to travel 3600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Kairat form and stats
Last season, Kairat's Europa League journey ended in the 2nd qualifying round.The home supporters can't complain about results here as Kairat have scored 30 goals to get 24 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the Premier League are 7-3-0 (wins-draws-losses). In general it's been a long time since Kairat tasted defeat here, as they have taken at least one point from their last ten home games in the league.
No payout for Kairat in their previous match, an away game at Arys that ended in defeat 3-4. Did Kairat get overconfident in their match against Arys? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 3-0 lead to end up with a 3-4 defeat. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Crvena Zvezda (0-5).Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Zhetysu are coming to town in two days.
Kairat are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (30 goals in 10 games). Kairat are not conceding a lot of goals here in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 9 from 10 matches.
Alashkert form and stats
Last season their Europa League adventure ended in the 1st qualifying round.It could be a hat trick of victories away for Alashkert, as they have won on their previous two travels.
Alashkert might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Ararat-Armenia proved too strong as Alashkert slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadion Nairi.
Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Sheriff's place.The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Premier League trip to Artsakh.
